Recently, Saira Banu took to her Instagram and shared multiple pictures showing her as a child, a grown-up girl, and how she looks now. While sharing these pictures, Banu wrote, "The most precious gift I've ever received? A heartfelt compliment from Dilip Kumar that changed my life forever! On a magical evening at my home, he walked in, held my hand, and said, âMy, you have grown up into a beautiful girl.' Time stood still. Little did I know, it was the start of our beautiful love story."
Saira Banu and Dilip Kumar got married on October 11, 1966. The actress was only 22 and Dilip Kumar was 44. Despite many believing that the age difference between the couple would not make their marriage a success, Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu were married for over 50 years.
